Summary: suprisingly entertaining
Comment: Juno is a very good, unique story and one of my favorite movies of the year. If you ask me (and in a sense you are.) the real star of this film is the script. Written by first time screenwriter Diablo Cody, Juno really is as they say "this year's little miss sunshine" It's refreshingly original, quirky and funny. It is also very heartwarming...but only towards the end. Through the majority of the film, like little miss sunshine, things pretty much get worse for the protagonists as time goes on but it is certainly not without laughs throughout. Besides, that is what makes the ending all the more powerful.
The thing that struck me the most was the honesty in the dialogue. It certainly isn't completely realistic and Juno and her friend have more witty things to say then is probably natural but nonetheless, the dialogue in the film is probably more realistic than most. The film's acting is also something of note. Ellen Page, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role, delivers a great performance. In addition, the other actors in the film, such as Michael Cera and Jason Bateman also give good performances. Like his other roles, Michael Cera who plays Juno's love interest (more or less), plays awkward better than any actor I have seen. If you've seen Superbad or any episode of Arrested Development than you know what I'm talking about.
Juno is defiantly a movie worth seeing. Juno defiantly isn't a laugh-out-loud kind of comedy but I don't think that's what they're going for. With a good cast, simple humor, and a believable script, you can't really go wrong and I don't think they did.

Summary: Great romantic comedy
Comment: This is a great movie if you take it for what it is - a well made, fun to watch romantic comedy with very likeable characters.
As others have cautioned, though, teenage pregnancy is no way treated fairly in this movie. Such a story could have played out so nicely only in heaven. In real life, I can only imagine the nightmare that it is being pregnant at 16.

Summary: Its good but watch with caution
Comment: Didn't know what to expect when I went into the theatre to see this, never heard of it. It was actually really good--quirky and witty dialogue. But don't watch it with impressionable kids, I mean this movie totally makes it look like a piece of cake to have a baby and give it up. She shed a few tears in the delivery room and then life went on all happily a moment later. Come on, that's not reality. And when she tells her parents she pregnant, they're only mad for like a total of 60 seconds! That's my only problem with the movie..

Summary: Worth Getting
Comment: I actually hadn't heard of the movie at all until it came out on video, but I really liked it and have watched it twice since. I recommend it. Ellen Page is awesome.

Summary: NOT A FAMILY FLICK
Comment: avoid movie w/children who have not had the talk; if you are looking for a feel good ending, keep looking;
